If you're really stuck, the Infiniti dealers (not many around) will do a V36 service. Not sure I could afford it though....

iseekool's posts are correct - that is the only way. The trip computer software in Nissans is so inaccurate I wonder why they even bothered to put it in the car. According to the unit in my 2010 370 (7speed) I have achieved 6.94 Lt/100Km. Sure, I was getting really great economy but I doubt it was THAT good. And I was driving in such an unrealistic manner to get that number... I live in the Snowy Mountains and work in Sydney so it is pretty much all highway running too. I am still trying to determine if it has the same software that is in my 2008 Maxima (CVT) ...the fuel guage in that car doesn't actually measure the fuel you have but what it thinks you have based on usage rate. I have proved that if you can quickly drop the L/Km number the needle on the fuel guage goes up! From Mittagong to Campbelltown is a drop in altitude of around 600metres so overall, a downhill run. If you reset the fuel usage at the top of Catherine Hill you will get a lower consumption number so the car makes a decision based simply on if you can go further....you must have more fuel in the tank! Stupid and unreliable.

Thanks AsM But my girl seems to talk a lot more than just "have a safe drive". Maybe it is like the old [dubbed] Japanese movies where the mouth moves for 30 seconds and the sound track says "No"???

Adrian, The car I got had done only 20k kilometres and is in [literally] perfect condition. All up the cost was just under $12k from point of sale in Japan to me driving away. This was for everything including Duty and GST on the purchase price ...which you would expect to be a little less on a 2008.

Didn't know anyone did the compliance on convertables out here...

Hey Chappy....I think the girl I have in my car is telling me I didn't pay the ETC before the car left for Oz!

poorjacky, Just found this so maybe you've got everything sorted by now.... I have just imported a 2010 370GT and all up was around 12-15 k less than local dealers, and a far superior vehicle. Most of the dealer cars aren't even registered until you buy them so I really wonder about compliance. Hate to get caught out the first time you have to register the vehicle yourself! reply and let me know if you want any details of my import costs/people/issues or if you are al good.

Well there are a lot of similarities in the menu's....just some in different spots and some extra's. I have a basic draft of the SETTINGS button, and the MAINTENANCE choices seem to be the same. The Music Box menu has been enlarged. I will post resiluts when completed. (Now all I have to do is work out how to disabled that damn speed limiter!!!!!)

The Max...thanks. Some appear the similar but this model has significantly more choices. Some menu choices give you eight menu choices and then the next level down gives you 47! A few more features methinks? I know there are only three or four buttons that will work in Oz but I have found some of the NAV stuff does too. Just that the Latitude is reversed. If I work anything out I'll be happy to post it here.

I have a 2010 GTP and (as it is a genuine facelift model) the translation doesn't even come close to matching what I see. Does anyone have any info on the newer model? As this is my first post, let me say thanks for such a great forum.
